After several days, Zhu Huakui finally arrived at Jinling City. At the same time, dozens of princes, including King Xiang Zhu Yiming, King Fu Zhu Changxun, King Tang Zhu Yu-yung and other princes. Tianlai Novels

Among them, there are only one generation higher than Zhu Youzhai, and there are also several generations higher than Zhu Youzhai. In the relationship between closeness and alienation, King Fu undoubtedly lived in blood, and King Xiang is also considered to be a close royal family at the same time.

Therefore, in comparison, Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu who dared to claim to be his great-grandfather of the current emperor, seems to be a relatively distant relative.

Other vassal kings who are close to the royal family do not think that they will be punished or severely punished by His Majesty the Emperor when they meet the saint this time, because they do not believe that His Majesty the Emperor will ignore their relatives' affection and ethics.

These close relatives and vassal kings sighed at King Zhu Huakui and others. In their opinion, even if His Majesty really wanted to give some radical newspapers and magazines to cut off their arm, and directly eradicate the vassal kings and demote them to common people, and those who commit serious crimes were dealt with according to the Ming law, then King Zhu Huakui and other vassal kings who had no closer blood relationship were undoubtedly the most likely targets to be rectified.

But King Zhu Huakui of Chu was very confident. He now believed in Ruan Dacheng's suggestions and felt that as long as he put his attitude right first, His Majesty could let him go back.

The gate of the palace slowly opened, and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, walked out and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order to announce the visit of the vassal kings in various places."

The King of Fu Zhu Changxun, who was in, walked in with a group of people.

Zhu Youxiao felt dizzy when he saw these vassal kings coming, and stood up in horror.

So many relatives!

If this is a critical moment, it is possible to use his own Zhu family to form an army of hundreds of thousands.

"It's hard for you to invite me. I didn't come to Beijing to worship the birthday of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I will be thrown away by you." Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Now I want you to come, of course, I will also pay tribute to Emperor Taizu Gao, and bless my country and the people. Second, I will ask you to give me some advice on how to solve some of the difficulties that the Ming Dynasty still exists, such as the problem of less money and food in the treasury than last year."

Just when Zhu Youxiao said this, King Fu Zhu Changxun added: "Your Majesty, the vassal kings are not allowed to interfere in politics."

"I said it well, but I didn't say I asked you to do things. I just asked you to study it for me. Now you are all rich and your land is increasing by less than a thousand acres every year, and your salary is less than ten thousand stones per year. But my Ming Dynasty is getting poorer and poorer. Tell me, who is the fault of this."

Zhu Youxiao's question stumped these vassal kings, and these vassal kings could not answer. Naturally, they were unwilling to admit that it was their own vassal kings that had dragged down the Ming Dynasty, but they did not dare to say that it was the sin of the bad governance of the country today.

Zhu Youxiao directly said what they didn't want to hear, and saw Zhu Youxiao stand up and point at King Fu Zhu Changxun and said, "It's you!"

"You are all receiving huge salaries from the court, but you are still plundering people's wealth and taking people's land to enrich your own business. Don't think that I don't know what you have done!"

Zhu Youxiao was so scared that King Zhu Huakui of Chu could not help but slammed, his knees softened, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down in front of Zhu Youxiao.

...

No more say about these vassal kings who arrived early, but for those who were late or simply did not come under the order, Zhu Youxiao simply issued an order to demote these vassal kings who could not come against the order and disrespect them to the order, and cancel their hereditary interests. If he is now a prince, his legitimate son's heir is no longer a prince, but a county prince.

In addition, the vassal kings who were disrespectful were punished with two years of salary reduction and one year of salary reduction to half.

The late princes also canceled the hereditary and reduced the treatment by two levels, and were fined for one year.

As a result, many vassal kings couldn't help but complain, especially those who did not come, who only said that they were just following the ancestral system but were abolished for no reason for hereditary and penalties.

Some vassal kings were even more dissatisfied with this, threatening that there must be treacherous ministers in the court, and that as vassal kings, it is necessary for them to go to Beijing to serve the king.

But now these vassal kings are more worried than the Yan King Zhu Di back then. They shouted fiercely, but few people have the courage to fight against the central court.

King Zhu Huakui of Chu made a note of the current affairs, saying that he was a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, but he could not give up any worries about His Majesty for the Ming Dynasty, so he felt extremely ashamed. At the same time, he also supported His Majesty in the Daming Daily to punish these vassal kings for disrespect or lateness. He even suggested that Your Majesty Zhu Youchao now impose more severe punishments on these vassal kings.

Regarding the crisis of the country and the difficulties of people's livelihood, King Zhu Huakui of Chu said that he was willing to give half of his land to the imperial village, and then let the imperial village contract the landless people. In this way, it can save the suffering of the people without any reason, without being suspected of being a vassal king interfering in politics.

Not only that, King Zhu Huakui of Chu also suggested whether the vassal kings in various places could be allowed to freely engage in other industries other than politics, especially academic fields such as literature and medicine.

Anyway, the vassal kings were rich, and most of them were not illiterate people, so it was easy to produce talents in this area.

Even King Zhu Huakui of Chu himself asked Zhu Youxiao to allow him to intern in Daming Daily for a period of time, so as to be familiar with the specific procedures of opening a newspaper. After returning to his fiefdom in the future, he would also open his own report in Huguang.

Zhu Youxiao immediately approved the request of King Zhu Huakui of Chu, and directly sent an order to the chief editor Zhang Dai, who personally led Zhu Huakui to familiarize himself with the newspaper process.

...

Just as King Zhu Huakui of Chu was preparing to take a good look at the production line of the Daming Daily, the time for worshiping Xiaoling Mausoleum was also here.

The former governor of Yingtian, Wang Wenkui, Fang Dayou, Chen Mingxia, Mao Pijiang and others also began to be taken out of the cell.

These people are covered in bruises and can't bear the torture. They almost shouted out everyone they knew, but they ended up biting more scholars and doctors.

They now hate the Ming emperor Zhu Youxiao who was sitting on the high level, and also hate Li Mingrui who had a hand in covering the sky.

They all raised their heads and looked at the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao on the jade steps. Unexpectedly, when Chen Mingxia saw it, he screamed himself first and then fell to the ground.

When someone poured cold water on his face, when Chen Mingxia woke up again, Zhu Youxiao stood in front of him and asked: "Chen Mingxia, Chen Mingxia, who is famous in Jiangnan, right? I remember that you said that I was a ignorant Bai Ding. Now I will ask you, is I really ignorant?"

"No, no, sin, the sinners are blind, please punish them!"

As Chen Mingxia said this, he knelt down at Zhu Youxiao in great pain. When he knelt down, the governor of the Yuan Yingtian, Wang Wenkui, also followed him: "The old minister is dazzled, please punish Your Majesty!"
